Fabulous!

I wrote previously that I thought there should be explanations of the answers for those, like me, who are still ‘learning the ropes’ as regards cryptic crosswords clues.
In response, I received an email saying I could ask for an explanation of a specific answer if I wanted.
Well, I just did, and promptly received a friendly personal email with a detailed and very helpful explanation of the answers I couldn’t get.
Truly excellent above-and-beyond service!
Definitively 5 star!

Good cryptic puzzles

A good set of puzzles pitched at about the right level for me. I can do 80% of the clues reasonably easily and head scratch about the rest for a while. I haven’t seen any errors so far but the harder clues do require a wide knowledge of the English language to crack them. For example, knowing kine is to do with cattle.

User friendly

I've used crossword apps that don't work intuitively and logically, but this does. Very easy to navigate between clues and make alterations, and a satisfying fireworks display on completion! The only very small change I might make for my own personal use would be to make the clues slightly more cryptic and requiring more thought, but I enjoy solving them anyway and it's great to be able to dip in and out, killing time while relaxing, traveling or waiting, without having to carryi a puzzle book around.
